Could be because PSnow is made up of PS4 blades and it would take a lot of the PS5 chips away from consoles, putting those chips into data centres compounds the problem of people not being able to get hold of the PS5. Not to mention that the Dual Sense isn't compatible with the PS4.
Not a fan of streaming. It's probably an old school mentality (though I'm still in my 20s), I love collecting physical copies of the games if I can on consoles and if it's a PC version, I like being able to tweak and play around with the graphics settings and other options on PCs that I built myself (just today I posted a thread related to tweaking stuff in RDR2 to gain more perf out of PC hardware). All of this will be taken away. I cannot and will not give up native gaming.
Native gaming is gonna be here for another 10 years or so, and by the time it's gone everyone is gonna have a 6G chip up their anus or whatever which means perfect connection top speeds super fluid practically zero latency. The future looks bright.
Just answering someone who was saying Sony could be in trouble. I explained why they should be okay.
Probably because their blades are still just PS4/PS3 blades. I am sure they have PS5 ones in the works or already closed testing.
Long term, of course!
Seems like a reasonable stopgap for people who haven't upgraded though. Like, at least it's an option. The alternative is that everything becomes crossgen for the next few years.Next gen graphics... in blurry streaming format
Wasn't one of the excuses of not allowing DualShocks to work on PS5 that it would somehow gimp the experience? Are we supposed to forget that claim when/if they allow to play PS5 games in PS4s?
Only the bandwith. You are getting what's essentially a video like Netflix does
Buy the next gen console. I think this is a great idea, supports the legacy owners and doesnt hold back next gen. All about optionsNext gen graphics... in blurry streaming format
Because PSnow is made up of PS4 SOCs and Sony have made no announcements about upgrading it to the PS5 SOCs, they seem focused on using all the silicon in the consoles unlike MS who pledged 12 months ago to begin upgrading their server blades in 2021. Microsoft also talked last year about how they designed Scarlet to specifically work in data centre environments as well as in consoles and have been planning this thing for a very long time. Also the controller incompatibilities between PS4 and PS5 would be problematic. This is one the the reasons why the Series X controller is virtually identical to the Xbox One.
It all really comes down to the video decoding happening on the Xbox One. If you have an OG Xbox One the maximum supported output resolution is 1080p. You could be streaming at 4K but the system would need to downsample that to display in it's max resolution. The One S and One X both support 4K output as well as 4K video decoding - so if the datacenter pushes a 4K video with max settings, that's what you'll see.
Probably Forza Motorsport 8 next year, but I would suspect this is MS gearing up for X Cloud being a significant pillar of their business model.
Personally I would never stream a game that can run locally, but my internet is not good enough to stream games without enough lag to really bother me.
Ouch
A simple firmware update would let the Dual Sense work on the PS4, I mean come on, there's no way the PS4 is physically incapable of running a bit more data over its Bluetooth controller connection.
dont you need internet to even use the device? It seems you are the one who doesnt understand the math.
Thanks gents.

You can do those on stadia. I managed to do ultra setting cyberpunk2077 on stadia. So it should be possible for xcloud.
Yeah I believe not using PS4 controller on ps5 was that excuse and in some ways maybe that's true but you're right if they do allow it eventually that explanation was crap then.
Edit: The more I think about it the X1 can support UHD playback, so it should be okay. The delay in launching this was probably just them waiting until the first next-gen only game released.
Is this a joke?
I’m not sure I was clear.
PS Now is still way behind. Half the games are probably stream only on PS systems, all games are stream only on PC and they only recently upgraded to 1080p streams. Before that it was 720p for probably 5 years - even PS4 games were 720p.
Chill out friend. Psnow had the horrible lag of playing the games, which why people wanted the download option.
I’ve said this a thousand times, they’re gonna end up publishers with a streaming service on every device
I’m trying to understand how streaming a graphics intense game is better than owning it and playing it locally! Especially a game with online multiplayer and a very popular one!
They should be aiming for a decentralized method anyway.
They've been doing it for years. You need help.
As long as you have a good connection it should be fine, runs perfect on a pc through the browser.
the difference is they are doing new gen games for old gen. that is something unheard of. So all the praise is valid.
The technology wasn't there yet. Those are future plans, even for MS.
You’re kidding right?
They currently use AWS (Amazon) and OpenStack (Rackspace/NASA joint venture).
I imagine all PS5 hardware is being pushed into retail SKUs rather than server racks. They'll do it eventually, maybe in time for the PSP5G
Adios
